Redemption is on the
minds of Counties Manu-
kau netballers as they
prepare to face North in
round three of the Lion
Foundation
inter-
provincial championship
on Sunday.
They need a worthy
performance to boost
their confidence after the
65-29 thrashing they got
from Western in Palmer-
ston North last Satur-
day.
Coach Winnie Hauraki
says it was the worst
performance of her brief
representative career.
There are no ex-
cuses,'' she says. We
were beaten by the bet-
ter team.
Western had the
height and speed advan-
tage. Their passes were
so much crisper than
ours. We knew they were
going to be tough but we
didn't really know how
tough.''
Western look destined
to return to division one
next season, Hauraki
says.
Counties Manukau's
plan against a Western
side with several fran-
chise players was to keep
the score respectable.
They were behind 7-16
by the first quarter,
16-29 by halftime and
24-44 at the end of the
third quarter. Then
Western turned up the
heat, scoring 21 points to
Counties Manukau's five
in the final quarter.
Hauraki says her
players had no answers.
We
were like
spectators.
It was disappointing
because Counties Manu-
kau are used to being
physical. They generally
put their bodies on the
line.
But in that fourth
quarter we were guilty of
ball-watching.''
Western prefer a mini-
mum of body contact,
their players ghosting
into position, she says.
We definitely need to
improve if we are to chal-
lenge North, the other
team in our group look-
ing to be promoted next
season.
We have to reduce our
handling errors. Our
passing was soft and a
lot of that came down to
decision-making under
pressure.''
Hauraki believes her
players created a lot of
that pressure them-
selves. Our passes spent
so much time in the air it
was easy for opponents
to pick them off.''
The players are disap-
pointed and determined
to perform better against
North, she says.
The game at the North
Harbour Netball Centre
is on September 18 at
noon.
Shooting statistics
against Western: Meri-
lyn Nordin 7/8 goals (88
percent),
Ashleigh
Timoko 7/13 (54) and
Dannielle Steffany 15/21
(71 percent).
